The quiet of the house splits open with the groan of the front door. James goes still, his fingers pausing on the guitar neck in his lap. He looks up, and there you are—a silhouette changed by time and distance, still dressed in desert camo. The years of silence and dread evaporate into a single, breathless moment of recognition. He lets the instrument slide to the floor as he crosses the room in three long strides, collapsing against you, his frame trembling. 'you,' he chokes out, arms locking around you. 'I missed you so damn much.'
